Sometimes I see a set of images and start to hear that high, white noise; something resonates; and it triggers an immediate need to sit down and draw, create, or explore some far-out idea. It might just be a very out-there creative hum. An idea-sync. Or... I'm probably not too sure what it is.

But ManiaMania's new lookbook has it at a high-frequency, audible pitch. I'm just totally floored by it. Incredible work, backed up with amazing jewellery.

Well, the days are getting incrementally longer, the sun has come out more than twice in the past week and the temperature crept up to 16 in the past few days. I'm thinking we might have survived our first Melbourne winter... it's time to start looking forward to summer up the coast, on the beach and in the sun.

~ ABOUT ~

Illustrator and writer, by nature the former and by circumstance the latter. Grew up in the bush and moved to the city, traipsed around the east coast, fell in love, read Cormac McCarthy, listened to Townes Van Zandt and picked up a banjo.

I’m interested in the balance of things, of things as they really are — neither here nor there, beautiful or horrible, strong or weak, wise or stupid. And in no way mundane.
